Tracy, hope your new garden is doing well.
Your experience with a blind start is one example of why a grower should always plant several seeds, cull the weaker sprouts, and select the strongest transplants for growing in the garden.

I agree. The only thing is, I have problem discarding the rest of the seedlings and to many varieties started as it was. I had more than the space allowed.

Mine have been very productive so far and set well on the heat BUT some issues I have had so far are
1. Mine are very ugly and deformed looking, which is fine but I can't get anyone to eat them.
2. Mine went from not ripe to ripe in 2 days which caused me to have many get mushy on the plants.
3. They split easily in the slighest rain then get to mushy to eat very quickly.
4. I have learned these are best picked at the first sign of color change.
5. Squirrels like to take bites out of them just before I pick them as if the can read my mind.

My experience was different - I grew both IS and IS potato leaf, and I didn't really care for the flavor. They did not taste like Cherokee Purple to me, and had fairly small fruit besides.
